Program helps enroll students

Students unable to meet the
University's entry requirements
still can be admitted under the
Undergraduate Support Pro
gram. also known as the Five
Percent Plan.
Under this program, high
school senior with low grade
point averages or test scores can
be admitted into the University
if they exhibit a “perceived
potential to succeed in col
lege,” said Bunny Nosier,
counselor at the Office of
Academic Advising.
Since its inception in 1968.
the definition of the Five Per
cent Program has changed, in
itially designed tu help disad
vantaged youths who have little
or no college preparatory
background, the Five Percent
Plan is now available to any stu
dent who has been denied ad
mission to the University, in
spite of their economic,
backgrounds. Students'
eligibility for this program is
based on counselor evaluations,
student interviews and space.
This year, 62 students were
admitted as part of the Five Per
cent Plan, an amount that fills
"little more than half of our stu
dent quota," said Wayne
Nishlmura. associate director of
admissions.
Once admitted to the Univer
sity. these students sign a con
tract agreeing to take part in a
year of planned studies all
Reared toward development of
students' study skills. In addi
tion to these classes, students
are required to meet with their
counselors on a regular basis.
“\V'e want them to know that
we're watching them with a
supportive eye," Nishimura
said. "We want them to know
we care."
And for students at risk, this
support may mean the dif
ference between academic suc
cess and failure.
After a year of planned
courses, students are able to
mainstream into the general
University curriculum.

University law students in the
legal research and writing pro
grams were given a hands-on
experience in the court process
through observation of the high
court's proceedings. The
students are required to write
opinions for one of the four
cases they observed.
The justices — Chief Justice
Edwin Peterson and Assocoate
justices Wallace Carson Jr., J.R.
(Bob) Campbell, W. Michael
Gillette, Robert Jones. Berkeley
Lent and Hans Linde — will
come to a conclusion about the
cases at a later date after
discussing the evidence that
was presented during the morn
ing and afternoon sessions.
The first case, Fuhrer vs.
Gearhart-by-the-Sea, involved a
guest of the Clatsop County
hotel who drowned while res
cuing children (also guests of

the hotel) from rough surf. The
court will decide whether the
hotel was obliged to warn its
guests of the hazardous condi
tions of ocean surf adjacent to
the hotel.
In the case of State of Oregon
vs. Donovan, a man on proba
tion was arrested for driving
while' intoxicated. After the ar
rest, the state sought to revoke
his probation because of the
charge.
The man was found innocent
of his probation violation but
later was found guilty of drunk
driving. The court now will
decide whether a general ruling
against the State of Oregon in a
probation revocation hearing
bars a later criminal trial on
drunk-driving charges.
The first case in the afternoon
session, State of Oregon vs. Dix
on, involved defendants appeal
ing their convictions for grow
ing marijuana because police
obtained evidence leading to
the convictions by entering
their property without a
warrent.
However, the marijuana was
found in open fields, and the
U.S. Constitution recognizes an
exception to the warrant re
quirements. The Court must
decide whether the Oregon
Constitution, which expressly
protects only the land im
mediately around a person’s
home, also protects against
searching an open field without
a warrant.
The final case. Portland vs.
Tidyman, challenges the con
stitutionality of Portland’s or
dinance regulating the location
of adult bookstores.
